81068 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 21, 2023 / Notices 

1As authorized, the Rio Bravo Pipeline System 

consists of 135.7 miles of dual (parallel) pipelines; 

one 42 inches in diameter and the other 48 inches 

in diameter; one new compressor station; and 

associated meter stations and valves and related 

facilities. The Rio Bravo Pipeline Project was 

approved by the Commission on November 22, 

2019, in Docket No. CP16–455–000, and amended 

(and approved by the Commission) on April 21, 

2023, in Docket no. CP20–481–000. 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP23–519–000] 

Rio Bravo Pipeline Company, LLC; 

Notice of Availability of the 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Proposed Rio Bravo Pipeline Route 

Amendment 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Rio Bravo Pipeline Route Amendment 

(Route Amendment), proposed by Rio 

Bravo Pipeline Company, LLC (RB 

Pipeline) in the above-referenced 

docket.1 The EA assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the Route 

Amendment in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the proposed Route Amendment, with 

appropriate mitigating measures, would 

not constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. 

The proposed Route Amendment 

includes the following four pipeline 

route adjustments, all within the State 

of Texas: 

• adjust the certificated route

between approximate milepost (MP) 

69.8 to approximate MP 79.4 in Willacy 

County to conform to the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service’s Biological Opinion 

issued for the Rio Bravo Pipeline Project 

and to minimize impacts on potential 

ocelot habitat (the ‘‘U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service Route Adjustment’’); 

• adjust the certificated route

between approximate MP 92.4 and MP 

93.0 in Willacy County to accommodate 

requirements of the International 

Boundary and Water Commission and 

landowner requests (the ‘‘North 

Floodway Route Adjustment’’); 

• adjust the certificated route

between approximate MP 99.7 and MP 

100.5 in Willacy and Cameron Counties 

to accommodate a landowner request 

(the ‘‘Arroyo Colorado Route 

Adjustment’’); and 

• relocate a meter station and extend

the approved Rio Bravo Pipeline route 

approximately 0.6 mile in Cameron 

County from the currently certificated 

terminus site to the meter station within 

the fenceline of the approved Rio 

Grande LNG Terminal site (the 

‘‘Terminus Adjustment’’). 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability of the EA to 

Federal, State, and local government 

representatives and agencies; elected 

officials; environmental and public 

interest groups; Native American Tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

Route Amendment area. The EA is only 

available in electronic format. It may be 

viewed and downloaded from the 

FERC’s website (www.ferc.gov), on the 

natural gas environmental documents 

page (https://www.ferc.gov/industriesdata/natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). In addition, 

the EA may be accessed by using the 

eLibrary link on the FERC’s website. 

Click on the eLibrary link (https://

elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search), select 

‘‘General Search’’ and enter the docket 

number in the ‘‘Docket Number’’ field, 

excluding the last three digits (i.e., 

CP23–519). Be sure you have selected 

an appropriate date range. For

The EA is not a decision document. 

It presents Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the 

environmental issues for the 

Commission to consider when 

addressing the merits of all issues in 

this proceeding. Any person wishing to 

comment on the EA may do so. Your 

comments should focus on the EA’s 

disclosure and discussion of potential 

environmental effects, reasonable 

alternatives, and measures to avoid or 

lessen environmental impacts. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. To ensure that the 

Commission has the opportunity to 

consider your comments prior to 

making its decision on this Route 

Amendment, it is important that we 

receive your comments in Washington, 

DC on or before 5 p.m. eastern time on 

December 14, 2023. 

For your convenience, there are three 

methods you can use to file your 

comments to the Commission. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. Please 

carefully follow these instructions so 

that your comments are properly 

recorded. 

(1) You can file your comments

electronically using the eComment 

feature on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC

(2) You can also file your comments

electronically using the eFiling feature 

on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC 

Online. With eFiling, you can provide

Filing environmental comments will 

not give you intervenor status, but you 

do not need intervenor status to have 

your comments considered. Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. At this point in 

this proceeding, the timeframe for filing 

timely intervention requests has 

expired. Any person seeking to become 

a party to the proceeding must file a 

motion to intervene out-of-time 

pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and 

(d)) and show good cause why the time 

limitation should be waived. Motions to 

intervene are more fully described at 

https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene. 

Additional information about the 

Route Amendment is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs,
